Sweet Dreams!

Father's Day Weekend

Thanks for being the best daddy in the whole wide world! We love you!
-Davis and Fisher

We had a wonderful Father's Day weekend. We were able to see both families so that was really nice. We went to Evan's Aunt Beth's house on Saturday for a cookout. She has a pool so we swam for a while before we ate dinner. Davis loved it, but Fisher was a little uneasy. He clung very tight to me and then he just wanted to walk around outside. He had a lot of fun out of the pool though. Beth has rocks around the pool and Davis was fascinated with them. He probably played with the rocks for 30 minutes, which is a VERY long time for him. He normally plays with something for about 30 seconds and then he moves onto something else. We had a very yummy dinner with homemade pound cake and ice cream for dessert. The boys got to play for a little while after dinner and then we had to head home. After dinner, Fisher kept walking around the house with an old cell phone constantly talking on it. It was absolutely hilarious. I wish I had had my video camera with me. We had a great time visiting with family. Thanks for having us!



On Sunday, Davis and Fisher gave Evan his Father's Day present and then we played at the house all day. My parents came over for dinner that night and we played in the backyard for a while. The boys swung, went down the sliding board and explored the yard. Davis loves to play in the garden, but I try to discourage that since it has cow manure in it. :-) As you can tell from one of the pics below, Fisher's favorite thing to play with is the sprinkler. He hasn't experienced it when it's on, but I am thinking he wouldn't like it as much. We played outside until the pizza arrived and they both cried when it was time to go inside. I really think they would stay outside 24 hours a day if they could. It doesn't matter how hot it is they still love it! We hope your Father's Day was as good as ours!

Our New Swingset

Fisher and Davis got a swing set for the back yard. We have been wanting to get one for a little while, but we couldn't decide if it was worth this investment right now since the only part they can use are the swings. But after thinking about how much they love swinging we decided to go ahead and get one. It has so many neat things on it that I know they will eventually enjoy. It has a tire swing, rock wall, monkey bars, slide, infant/toddler swings, and a lookout tower. Evan has been putting it together in his spare time. The only thing he has left are the monkey bars and the canopy on top. There's really no hurry for either though since they can't use that part right now. Once he puts it all together, he's going to build a barrier around it to make a play area and then fill that with sand. I posted a few pictures of them swinging. They L-O-V-E it!

Kylee's 3rd Birthday!

We went to Kylee's birthday party and we all had such a good time. She had a circus theme, with face painting, a bounce house, popcorn, and cotton candy. Davis nor Fisher took a nap that day so I was worried we were going to have several meltdowns at the party, but to my surprise they didn't. They had such a good time playing with the other kids. It was really sunny and hot that day so I made them wear their floppy hats (the kind with straps). They DO NOT like them, but I can't get them to keep a baseball hat on their head so a floppy hat it is. Kylee got lots of great gifts and she had the cutest birthday outfit! Thanks for inviting us!

Allie's 3rd Birthday

We went to Allie's 3rd birthday party a couple of weeks ago. She had it at a local gymnastics center and everyone had so much fun. Davis and Fisher LOVED climbing up and down the wedges and jumping in the foam pit with me. We had so much fun Allie! Thanks for inviting us!

Pool Time

Evan's parents gave the boys a pool for their birthday this year. We tried it out a few weeks ago and Davis loved it! Fisher wasn't really thrilled about it. He got in for about 30 seconds and then he wouldn't let go of me. I set him on the edge of it and just let him put his feet in the water and he was ok with that. I think he will learn to love it once he gets used to it. Thanks so much for our swimming pool!

I'm officially an Aunt!

Welcome to the world Alice! Lily Alice made her debut on May 24th. Congrats to Jim and Ashley! She is beautiful! I can't wait to see her again!

5 years!

On June 5 Evan and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. Evan has been really busy at work trying to finish a building in time for it's dedication so we decided we would go on a short trip once things settled down for him. I suggested we not do gifts since were going to go on a trip and he agreed. But on that Friday morning he surprised me with a ring box. I was totally surprised. He got me another wedding band to match my original one so now I have one on each side of my engagement ring. I love my new bling!! My hands were shaking I was so shocked. He came up with the idea all on his own which makes it that much more special! I felt bad because all I had for him was a card. When I gave it to him he told me that he didn't get me one. I guess I'll let him slide on that one. :-) Some how I think I got the better deal by far!!! We went to dinner at the Melting Pot that night to celebrate and it was fabulous as usual. We have had five wonderful years together and I look forward to many more!

A wedding and a baby

We spent Memorial Day weekend at the Isle of Palms with Michael and Kelly. Evan and Michael were in Tommy's wedding that weekend so we had a fun filled weekend of wedding festivities and going to the beach. On Friday night we went to the rehearsal dinner. They had a barbecue and then a band that played by the water. After we ate everyone went outside to enjoy the music. On Saturday morning we took the boys to the beach. This was their first time besides when they were 2 months old and we were a little worried that they wouldn't like the sand. But they LOVED it! We had so much fun playing in the sand and water with them. My parents came down that weekend also to keep the boys for us and to see my brother and sister-in-law. On Saturday afternoon we went to the wedding and reception. We had so much fun and it was so good to catch up with the W.C. guys and their wives. Just after getting to the reception my mom called to let me know that my sister-in-law was in labor. WHAT?? She wasn't due until the beginning of June. Perfect timing though because we were all down there. The reception was literally across the street from the hospital so in between glasses of wine I walked over to see them. I was so glad that she went into labor while we were in town so I was able to be there. I'll give you the details of the baby in another post. She deserves an entry of her own. Hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend!

Birthdays and Mother's Day

This year it was our turn to be with my family for Mother's Day so we went to my Nana and Granddaddy's house. We didn't really celebrate Mother's Day we just enjoyed being with each other. It was the first time since my Nana died that everyone was together. We ate a huge meal which is always delicious and then we celebrated the April and May birthdays which is a lot in our family.

For Mother's Day, Fisher and Davis gave me tickets to see 4 Broadway musicals, one being Wicked. I am so excited! I have wanted to see Wicked for a really long time! Poor Evan is getting hit hard with buying presents. The boys birthday is the end of April, mine is the beginning of May, then Mother's Day a week later, and then 2 weeks after that our anniversary! :-) Whew!
